The drummer Natsumi is suuuuuper underated! But yeah this song goes hard af! Bridear are one of the ogs on the scene, you should def check out "The Light in the Dark" which is one of their classic songs.

[@jiang_jiang]

Hi! Hello from Japan. Thanks for the quick reaction video! I sympathized with you as your point of excitement is the same as mine! Thanks for focusing on BRIDEAR.

[@radioraffa]

Guitarist Moe (With the Hoodie) wrote the music for this song and singer Kimi wrote the lyrics.

[@paul_laws]

Many thanks for featuring Bridear on your platform. Hopefully, they're going to blow up. They deserve anything and everything that comes to them.

[@gordonbell8728]

Natsumi killing those drums 🥁, and of course the Sukiyaka sisters on guitars 🎸 incredible as always!!!! Haru on bass and harsh vocals and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE Kimi's vocals!!!! BRIDEAR KICK ASS 🤘🤘🤘🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🥁🔥🤘🤘🤘

[@maidnewsnetwork]

Thanks for the shout out, but even more so for helping spread the word to the world about these Japanese bands. This song is FIRE.

[@michaelhill4353]

@maidnewsnetwork . Hey there, Peter.✌️❤️🤘

[@michaelcox4753]

Thanks for reacting to Bridear. This band is totally awesome and unfortunately totally underrated

[@michaelmunno]

HELL YES! thank you JOHN!! great review. I love this band. so under-rated. I am so happy to finally hear someone else give KIMI (vocalist) positive energy! She has a unique and great voice, I love her vocals! you nailed it! every layer of this song is pure fire, I love it so much! I am dying to hear the entire album! cannot wait for it to drop next month! This is even better than I had hoped for, I've loved each of their albums more and more. So if this is a sample of what's to come it's gonna top Aegis of Athena for me which I played the F out of and still do lol. This song goes right to the top of my favs from them, so good. relentless. there is no letting up anywhere in this song, I LOVE THAT!

[@Mrlovebitten]

I don’t know what they are feeding these female bands in Japan but I think it’s safe to say that Japan is cooking up a smorgasbord of freaking awesome music Band Maid, LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, HANABIE, Bridear and more…thank you Japan

[@michaelhill4353]

@Mrlovebitten. I'm with you on that one, dude. I've said it before elsewhere, and I'm going to say it again, but Japan is a bottomless pit of musical talent and creativity that leaves its western counterparts in the dust.✌️❤️🤘

[@davidornberg]

They recorded this album here in Sweden. I think the studio did the master as well. Drums on the video is borrowed from a friend of hers. Another japanese artist that also recorded her latest album in the same studio is Isiliel. She is more of "mystic metal". She is an one man idol but in september she will play with a band in Norway. You should check Isiliel out!

[@DavidDillinger-ct8ki]

Yeah, I am getting a vibe their new album is going to be total fire. Looking forward to the release.

[@fikryhasan5225]

BRIDEAR are always amazing, but the mixing of this song (and their upcoming album that will be released in June) really brings out and accentuates all the awesomeness of each member. 'BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED' should be their next song for you to react to. Thanks, John!

[@1972cd]

Hey John, This one hits harder than most of their music. I really enjoyed their older stuff, but this is cool too.

[@hiawatha.g]

In their live performances, most of the vocal harmonies are done by Ayumi (guitarist audience right). And yes, Natsumi is a beast on drums.

[@realdocloco]

Yes, Ayumi and Haru too sometimes (when she's not growling)

[@keithlujan3722]

This new album is going to be fucking awesome

[@MrJoJomusic74]

I have seen Bridear in concert two time and it's awesome. The first was with the original line-up and the second with Ayumi and Natsumi. Natsumi previously performed with Telecide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZbUXmqQeNGofMUsi=x6kl6Az632Mj32Jx

[@J_musicfan]

BRIDEAR is definitely on fire with this song. If the rest of the album is anything like this it will be napalm. I hope they come to the US. 🤘🔥

[@stevo7373]

They really knocked it out of the park with this song!

[@evilvolts]

from this new album Born Again all songs are awesome they have this video and an animated video for the song "Cult"

[@larryduncan6672]

Them drums sound good.

[@larryduncan6672]

I'm feeling atreyu and old school trivium right now. So good

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

I like this song. a lot! and the video is excellent too. kudos to the director.

[@larryduncan6672]

JOHN!!!! YOU'RE THE MAN

[@zephyr835]

Totally agreed on the end of the chorus, and I love the harmony that goes lower at the same time. To your question on that, I'm pretty sure it's just Kimi harmonizing with herself in this case; live, they could use that as a backing track or Ayumi (stage left guitarist) could sing that part. The latter has a really nice voice in her own right. Don't know what other song you had checked out, but I suggest Ghoul for similar awesomeness in tone, drumming, and a headbanging outro.🤘

[@buccanero]

Great reaction and surprised this is your first time reacting to Bridear! This is a band that covers all the bases. Great drumming, guitar and bass tones, a recognizable singer's voice, great riffs...everything! These are some of their classics that you should definitely check out: "Light in the dark" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6m2o4Kndt2Ugdksi=YoIqnBDysBcPdhy4 "Thread of the light" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_Fm36ngrSHm5Ysi=tTcVQ2_mg44DAVQE "Wing of hope" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpuaiX55rdBlp7csi=3j6GFuZDm5xxsVtg "Ignite" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmaQpWNjf5uXZqcsi=HYthigocI8fBGZS2 "Ghoul" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5_Yo5uiiJVjjbcsi=gzE4qBa4fGwo0rif "Bloody Bride" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5fGgmaugNqWhqssi=O9xEiklxtjSgTktJ Also, check out Natsumi's, the drummer, old band Telecide "Cycle of addiction" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6G3optubLyYrJYsi=tmlj9qBxJUDfYhZI

[@sean1728]

I’m not sure why Bridear remains under the radar more than other J-metal bands…maybe it’s that they hail from Fukuoka instead of a major hub like Tokyo, maybe its line-up changes over the years…it doesn’t matter. This band remains a force to be reckoned with, and Natsumi (drums) is an absolute wrecking machine. 🤘🇯🇵🔥🍻

[@hiawatha.g]

Japanese metal is on an incredible roll, especially the women, who are kicking ass on an epic scale. Bridear are among the pioneers and are clearly bidding for a spot in the top tier of bands. Founded in 2011, they are one of the second wave of all-female heavy-metal bands. They have undergone a few lineup changes, but generally go hard and heavy. They have the quintessential twin-lead attack and technical rhythm section. Here is the original lineup: Kimi-Vocals Haru-Bass, growls Misa-Guitars, growls Mitsuru-Guitars (pink flying V) Kai-Drums In 2019, Kai left to start a family, Misa left to pursue her own musical vision, Mitsuru soon followed, and they had to bebuild. Amazingly, they did so without any loss in quality, finding Misaki and Ayumi on Guitar, and Natsumi, formerly of Telecide, to take over on drums (after a brief trial with another drummer). Second Lineup: Kimi-vocals Haru-bass, growls/metal vocals Misaki-Guitar, audience left Ayumi-Guitar, audience right Natsumi-Drums I saw them live in London just after this lineup came together, and they were explosive, playing mostly stuff from the original lineup. They have experimented with a variety of styles, dabbling in progressive and pop, but they still come back to their metal roots. In “Brave New World Revisited” (kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWeQgIuZrrKej6s) they’ve got a masterpiece. It’s also a tour-de-force for their brilliant young guitarist Ayumi, who has also taken on a lot of the writing for the band. In early 2022, Misaki, who suffers from severe stage fright, left the band for health reasons, and they scrambled to find a new co-lead guitarist. They have been joined by Moe, and their first release with her on board showcases some great dual shredding between her and Ayumi. From the original lineup: “Light in the Dark” kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX-WfHd_d8miqbM “Ignite” kzbin.info/www/bejne/goKsdaSrmaySerM Second Lineup: “Starlight” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3UamN9prern6c “Bloody Bride” kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX-WfHd_d8miqbM “Brave New World Revisited” kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWeQgIuZrrKej6s Third Lineup: “Road” kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJTWhqONjJWIkM0 “Eyes of Doubt” kzbin.info/www/bejne/laCxn2yNnJKphLM (This was written by new member Moe.) They have wrapped the recording sessions for their new album. It is scheduled for release on June 28. I’ve heard the whole thing and it’s a banger.

[@cmcknight]

Good list but for me its important to see Ground zero, Bridears introduction to the world and a video that doesn't get enough love, if you are on headphones Volume Warning Thread of the light, kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_Fm36ngrSHm5Y

[@hiawatha.g]

@@cmcknight Actually, you are right this should be on the list. I didn't have it there because I didn't like the mix, but it really is an amazing performance.

[@timgove5337]

Thanks ProducerMan 🤘🎸💃😎

[@hiawatha.g]

@@timgove5337 👍

[@ronnimetalpicodeathchamato6266]

I love BRIDEAR! They have only been around for a little longer than BAND-MAID (so 11-plus years)... The whole female Japanese scene started a long time ago with SHONEN KNIFE and SHOW-YA, but really took off years later (around 2004 or so) with bands like Space Time Pirates SEVEN SEAS, ALDIOUS, GACHARIC SPIN, and DESTROSE (which spawned LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, FATE GEAR, MARDELAS, DISQUALIA, LONESOME BLUE, MARY'S BLOOD, and several others) and there are new all female Japanese bands coming out every day!

[@pjdava]

JohnReavesLive, Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!

[@realdocloco]

Saw them live in 2021 - they were the only japanese band touring in Europe during covid, so I'll never thank them enough. They are really good live, and Kimi has that great stage presence and charisma. Haru really growl like that live! I'd love to see them again, the Ayumi/Moe pair is wonderfull. And Natsumi is not only a great and strong durmmer, she's extremely funny to follow on X.

[@BenC460]

From what I've seen of their live stuff the bass player also does the clean harmonies.

[@user-ii1ke9ex4u]

Wow!

[@williamharris9446]

MAN! YOU'RE THE JOHN!!!!!

[@danbuter]

Not sure why all the reactors finally found Bridear, but I'm glad! I'd put Natsumi up against Akane or Haruna any day (and I love both of their drumming).

[@mechghost5742]

Natsumi and Akane are tied for #1 on my list.

[@gitterich]

🤘🤘Bridear woman have returned to their roots.

[@michaelhill4353]

Cheers for checking out Bridear John. If you happen to experience any difficulties when it comes to the pronunciation of the band's name, it's BRIDE DEAR, NOT BRIDEER. Some of my faves from Bridear: Traces of Tears, Skew Lines, Ignite, Remedy, Ghoul, Bloody Bride, Starlight, Side of a Bullet, KESHIN, The Moment, MIRROR, Misery Machine, Sick, Past in Emerald, Brave New World Revisited, Lodestar. I could go on, but I'll spare you, lol!!!

[@zephyr835]

Nice list of faves! Some underrated ones in there IMO.

[@michaelhill4353]

@zephyr835 . Thanks, man. Those are just a short list of some of my personal faves when it comes to Bridear. There are countless others, of course, but I won't mention what those tracks are. Feel free to leave further suggestions for John.✌️

[@KuroKishi-TWA]

🤘🏿

[@tackle47]

Glad to see them going back to the heavier Baryte era sound. Besides Brave New World revisited the last few albums have not hit for me as hard. I knew this lineup had the chops glad to see them kicking ass.

[@hiawatha.g]

The live version of this just dropped. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bXqaB7dt54erc They crushed it.

[@youtubetraveler9246]

Hi, i have a question. I have tried before to post suggestions. And well of course i put links but i recently checked out a video because after i logged out of my account and noticed my comments disappeared. I checked out a video and it says the reason is Videos can be filtered out if they contain things like emojis or LINKS. So i'm wondering how do we suggest things to you if we can't post LINKS? It seems comments with links will go to the filter section and you will not see them.

[@timgove5337]

Try using only KZbin links
